Oscar award winning Green Book. Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali. Cert 12. Based on a true story. Set in 1962. America was racist like it is now. Tony Lip, prejudiced, a racist. See what his son's book says. You may have seen Black Kkklansman, The Butler, Detroit, The Bucket List. You might enjoy the soundtrack. Tony has been working as a club bouncer. He is hired by Dr Don Shirley, a famous musician. They go on a road trip together. A good cast of actors. There was controversy surrounding this film. Two opposing personalities. They apparently formed a bond. Is this some kind of bromance. It was ridiculous the way these whites perceived people of colour. It is a shame that these morons still exist. There is some humour and drama. I don't like aspects of certain characters. I may look at the background story and the reviews. There was a disturbance at the door. Tony starred in The Sopranos. The dialogue between the two is entertaining. Good cinematography, costume, acting from all the cast.
Worth taking a look.

We didn't start the fire

I am watching a biological drama about the war correspondent Marie Colvin. A Private War stars Rosamund Pike, Jamie Dornan, Stanley Gucci. Pike is doing a good job. Cert 15. She worked for the Sunday Times. Story begins in 2001. She goes on a trip to Sri Lanka. She goes to Baghdad. Multiple film locations. A strong independent woman uncovering the truth and trying to make a difference in the world. Special features are increase. You might also like Noble Wild Tracks Suffragette The subtitles are on. I don't think much to the nudity. Violence and gore is graphic. Best to give the film your full attention than blogging during it. Give praise to the cast and crew. Good including an interview with the lady herself. I usually look at imdb trivia and Wikipedia. See her articles and what others say about her. You might enjoy the soundtrack. Like and subscribe to my blog. War, what is it good for?
